disables auto-acquire target

[DeftheLynn]

as the title said, i want to disable the auto-acquire target, so the unit wont attack any enemy until i give him an order.

i used "worker" clasification and turned the "can flee" to false
but it shows the idle worker icon ...

anyone had a better idea than mine ?

Set the acquisition range to 0?

Set the acquisition range to 0?

no effect, i've tried that ...

Set the acquisition range to 1, cause sometimes setting things to 0 has weird effects

Worker: Worker classification has two basic effects. It displays idle worker icons when the unit has nothing to do and it prevents the unit from acquiring any targets. However if you add the worker classification at runtime, it will only get the second effect and won't show any idle worker icon at all. That's how you can create units that ignore enemies.

call UnitAddType(u, UNIT_TYPE_PEON)

If you additionally set the unit field can flee to false it won't even run away when attacked. To create a unit that ignores all enemies except when it is being attacked you can use 'Apiv' (Permanent Invisibility) with the duration set to -1 and auto acquire attack targets to false. Now the unit won't be invisible but still not auto acquire targets.

From here.

Also, the GUI equivalent for the Jass line is

• Unit - Add classification of A peon-type unit to (Triggering unit)

similar to storm crow ?
you add classification and then remove it ?

Nop, just add it; once you want it to gain the auto-acquiring effect back, remove it.
